IPL 2023: Whoever Is Bowling Better, I Try To Give Him The Tough Overs, Says Nitish On Giving Chakaravarthy Final Over

By IANS News May 05, 2023 • 13:09 PM View: 733

Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Nitish Rana stated that his logic behind giving Varun Chakaravarthy the final over, in which nine runs were needed to defend, came from him bowling much better than other spinners like the veteran Sunil Narine.

The pressure was on Chakaravarthy to defend nine runs off the final over with Abdul Samad and Bhuvneshwar Kumar at the crease. After conceding a single and leg-bye on the first two balls, the spinner had Samad mistiming a pull to deep mid-wicket and gave only one run off the last three balls to lead Kolkata to a five-run win.
